Using a catalog and assist.org
to write a two-year Ed Plan

The college catalog is the road-map between the college and the student.

As long as you maintain continuous enrollment, the catalog or any later edition can be used to satisfy course requirements.

Assume you want to earn a BS degree in Civil Engineering from
San Jose State
